Recipes for Your Birds
There are all sorts of nutritious foods and
tasty treats that you can cook or bake for your birds. Seed junkies in
particular can benefit from homemade foods because almost all recipes can be
supplemented with pellets and fresh veggies. Other homemade foods are only
appropriate as small, occasional treats for all birds, because of the addition
of sugar. Table salt and milk have been removed from almost all recipes.
According to board certified, avian veterinarian Dr. Margaret Wissman, some dairy products like
yogurt and cottage cheese do not contain lactose and they are considered safe
for pet birds. Most of the recipes below will produce a large
quantity of food and they should be divided into smaller portions. To meet the nutritional needs of your pet birds, offer a well
balanced diet as recommended by your avian vet, a variety of fresh vegetables, fruits, a few
treats and
some seeds each day. For more information on Healthy Table
